Inventor 2023 : Update Part mass into a for each loop with iLogic.

[vpeuvion]

Hello, I'm having an update issue when I try to vary a parameter by a step.
I'm trying to retrieve the part's masses by varying a parameter.
For example, I have a rectangular Sheet Metal part with a length of "Length." If I create a rule and add this code:

Length += 200
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True
MessageBox.Show(iProperties.Mass)

Each time I run the rule, the part changes visually and the mass changes.
However, if I insert this code into a for Each loop, it no longer works.

For Length = 200 To 1000 Step 200
	iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True
	MessageBox.Show(iProperties.Mass)
Next

I tried:
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("PartRebuildAllCmd").Execute
ThisApplication.CommandManager.ControlDefinitions.Item("AppUpdateMassPropertiesCmd").Execute
But without success. I'm out of ideas.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
My goal is to get all the part's masses for each configuration.
Thanks.

Vincent.

Try that last block of code like this instead:

iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True
For i As Integer = 200 To 1000 Step 200
	Length = i
	RuleParametersOutput()
	InventorVb.DocumentUpdate()
	MessageBox.Show(iProperties.Mass.ToString())
Next

Hello @WCrihfield .

I forgot about RuleParametersOutput().😉
Thank you very much.
